Wake Forest fired basketball coach Danny Manning after six seasons in which the Demon Deacons had a winning record only once.

Can't blame Currie here. Will be interesting how he handles the coaching search. Do they just outright give the job to Childress? Do Deacon fans pull a stunt like we did if they don't like the hire?

It was time to fire Danny Manning but I think the next head coach could have them in the NIT in 2021.

Childress is the fan favorite safe play, but What about John Beilein?

Rob Lanier of Georgia State would be an interesting hire for WF

That could be good too.

15 million dollar buyout

Leach or Schiano, book it.

Forbes?

Forbes?

I hope not for ETSU, but that makes a lot of sense for Wake.

 

[Boca Vol]

Jon Gruden was recently spotted wearing a black shirt and gold watch. Book it! Soon!

Forbes?

That would be a home run hire by WF

I really liked the pick and as a Falcons fan I can't wait to see him play I'll switch avitars

Haha. Gotcha . You do you man.

First off, who is Danny Manning's agent? Second, could the timing be any worse?

15 million dollar buyout

15 million reasons for him to not feel too bad

 

[vols 30]

Local TV did a phone interview with Forbes and he said he wasn't interested in Wake.

Leach or Schiano, book it.

I think WF will be looking for a new head football coach when Dave Clawson leaves for a better head coaching job after the 2020 football season.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

There is word going around that WF is interested in Marquette men's basketball coach Steve Wojciechhowski

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

From what I've heard and read the main candidates for the WF men's head basketball coaching job are Steve Forbes and Wes Miller.

Wes Miller would be an underwhelming hire. He’s done a decent job at UNCG but doesn’t compare to Forbes. Also need someone who can really recruit there.

 

[sport3500]

Forbes or Beilein would do well at Wake Forest.

Wake Forest is a very good job with the right coach as previous coaches like Skip Prosser has proved.

It's amazing how long they've been this bad. Their last season with a conference record above .500 was 2009-10.

 

[05_never_again]

Of course, maybe they also just never were as good as I remember them being. When I think of Wake basketball, I immediately think of Tim Duncan and Chris Paul. It's been a loooong time since either of them were there, especially Duncan. And even when Duncan and Paul were there, it isn't like Wake was great. They were good, but not consistently a great team. They made a Sweet Sixteen with Paul his freshman year, but then got bounced early his sophomore season. They made two tournament runs with Duncan and won the ACCT once (out of 4 years he was there), but didn't make a Final Four or beyond.

Outside of those two eras, their program has had virtually no success.
